OK - gonna copy and paste and go one at a time, this is all what i sensed as i read your dreams......my questions are rhetorical and don't need answering, they are for you to think about

I have been having short strange dreams. Like I'm late for work and I can't get out of bed-- someone is holding me in my bed.--I do wake up and it takes me a minute to realize I'm not late and I can get out of bed. ARe you holding yoruself back from somehting, something youwant to do, but are afraid to have a go at because of the fear of failure? the dream shows you that you are capable of anything, if you reallyw ant to do it - you woke up and all was OK, yet you recalled your dream and rememberedd the thought that it wasn't. REmember, put his with the reading youhad, the one you had doubts about - its a confirmation for you i think.
I dreamed I was working on my computer writing a short story when I was finished I tried to save it but the computer wouldn't let me. Across the screen I saw the words--you write but don't do anything with it--so no saving. Very strange. Have you started something that you haven't finished, not necessarily the short story, but soemthing important in your life that might be holding you bakc, something that needs to be done to move forward and away from an old situation to allow you to start a new one with fresh eyes and a new attittude? Are you repeating old habits, getting stuck in thesame rut, the same groove,doing the same thing in the same way but pretneding toyourself that its different this time when deep downyou maybe know it's not?
My last was the stranges of all--I dreamed I was walking with a man along a path in the woods. I couldn't see his face--but I felt comfortable with him--but he wasn't someone I had known for a real long time. I felt I has just really begun to know him. . We approach a campsite set up with tents. Large tents holding camp beds, chairs and tables and places to unpack your clothes. I hate camping but that doesn't seem to show in the dream As the man walks me to my doorway he leans over and gives me a gentle kiss on the mouth, then he turns and leaves.
That kiss sent waves of emotion right through my entire body. I felt like I'd been shocked. My toes felt like they were curling, goose bumps jumped our all over my arms. I was tingling all over and could feel how red my face. was. I woke up and my body was going through the exact same feelings.
I had never had anything like that happen before, and I have no idea who the man is in my dreams.
This last one is the most beautiful of all, and i have coloured this text pink for uncoditional love. Love starts with self, when you can love yourself completely, it opens doors for others to love you in the same way. Do you love yourself enough? Are you going to allow yourself to let go and love? Are you working on new parts of your development/life and trying to move forwad (see how its all connected to the other two dreams) you are comfortable where you are in your life (the woods, being with someone you are at ease with) but there is something new on the horizon, something exciting, a bit of an adventure (the tents and camping to signifiying new journeys, the transient nature of unpacking clothes setting things up is the symbology rather than you dislike of camping, it shows you the journey to be experienced, rather than the emotions, because the emotions will follow, hence the gentle kiss that bolted your emeotions so strongly and carried through to your waking pressence). Give yourself permission to love yourself, if you dont already, if you do already, its just a rmeinder - when you do that everything else will just slot into place - you are worthy and you CAN (and will if you let yoruself) have it all.
I sense you are a very sensual person, but it worries you a little and you might percieve the sensuous to be wrong. It isn't and your dream is that very message. Life is to be lived with a passion, if you have the courage to love yourself for who you are (andyoudo really don't you?) and let all those wonderful passionate emotions in, like adventure, risk, surrender, at the same time as listening to your own inner voice and not those around you that might judge or try to tame you, you wont go far wrong. I'm not talking wantoness, just living life with the joy de vivre, with a passion for everything and letting it all just happen and being in the moment.
Sorry i've rambled a fair bit there - but all that came through as i read your last dream, and i think that is a marvelous gift for you. Dreams to empower and confirm the reading you had and were worried about accepting.
Shushin now....
